The three channels of the InfraRed Imager (IRI) sub-section of the Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System (OSIRIS ) on the Odin satellite simultaneously measure the brightness along lines of sight that are uniformly spaced in tangent altitude and cover approximately 100 km of the Earth?s limb. Although each channel measures the same tangent altitudes they cover independent wavelength regions, one at 1.53 microns that measures daytime scattered sunlight and nighttime OH Meinel band emission and two other channels that measure the Oxygen InfraRed Atmospheric (OIRA) band at slightly different wavelengths. These data sets are ideal for the determination of anomalous structure in the vertical volume emission rate profile. This paper discusses the detection of such anomalous scattering regions in the stratosphere from the tomographic inversion procedures and their possible identification as being due to either high altitude clouds or aerosols.
